    85 with 93 4.0L fuel gelled...

    So i have an 85 with a 4.0 swapped in it. Long story short I redid all the wiring and put a 94 dash in to minimize the splices. I've been trying to make it run with the 91 harness originally used to do the swap (by the PO) it's been getting harder and harder to start and running worse and worse...

    4.0 swap engine ID please help.

    Got this 85 with a 4.0 OHV swapped in and started tearing it apart having to fix the alternator wiring and some other stuff.

    3.0 taurus ECC will run an '87 2.9L

    This came out of my 87 2.9L ranger. Long story short the little ground wire fell off the negative battery cable and killed the truck... I thought it was just the fuel pumps not turning on. Traced it to the ECC being the ground off the relay. So I though it was a bad ECC. Pulled it to find it was...
